Welcome
to the Kansas Rural Interdisciplinary Training Program (KS-RIT) housed in the
Landon Center
on Aging, University of Kansas Medical Center. This program
is funded, in part, through a Quentin N. Burdick Rural Health
Interdisciplinary Training grant from the Bureau of Health Professions,
Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Department of
Health and Human Services (DHHS).
The purposes of this program
are to:
- introduce health
professional students to rural practice and encourage consideration of
rural practice options;
- sensitize health
professional faculty and students to rural health needs;
- provide an opportunity
for students to learn and work in an environment that facilitates
interdisciplinary collaboration, fosters cultural sensitivity, and
cultivates service learning principles; and
- provide health
education and health services to rural and underserved populations to
reduce health care disparities.
